Hi Richard, It is slightly newer than the 6S, but it actually has older technology. The processor is the same, but it still has the first generation Touch Id sensor (same as the 5S) whereas the 6S and 6S Plus have a faster and more reliable Touch Id home button. The SE also does not support 3D Touch whereas the 6S and 6S Plus do. I would absolutely not recommend an SE at this late stage of the cycle and while my wife has a 6S and I have a 6S Plus and they are very good phones and we like them, I would probably even suggest to go with an iPhone 7 as the minimum. Yes, it doesn’t have the 3.5mm headphone jack any more and come with a set of Lightning Earpods and if you want to use a wired headset and charge at the same time you need the Belkin Rockstart adapter/splitter. Anyhow, Bill asked if he needs to reconnect his bluetooth keyboard and headset so it seems like he is using a bluetooth headset more than maybe a wired headset and if so the lack of the 3.5mm headphone jack is probably not an issue for him. Bill, if you think you want to keep your next phone for 4 years than I would definitely suggest you look at getting an iPhone 7, if you can afford an iPhone 8 then get an iPhone 8, it is the most future proof and will let use use wireless charging, but you have to buy a wireless charging pad, they are not expensive on Amazon, maybe $20 or $30, less than an original Apple Lightning cable. Of course you can still plug it in as well. The iPhone 7 is only offered with 32Gb or 128Gb, the iPhone 8 is offered in 64Gb or 256Gb. I don’t know how much storage your current 5S has, but 32Gb is almost not enough if you want to put a bunch of music on it and also take some pictures. If you primarily just want apps on it and use a music streaming service where you don’t store music on the phone or if you don’t care much about listening to music on your iPhone then 32Gb is probably fine. Lastly I would recommend that if you have an Apple Store nearby that you simply ask them to help you to make sure your 5S is backed up and to then switch your SIM (your current SIM from the 5S will work in the newer phones) and lastly to restore your backup and make sure everything is as it should. If you bring your keyboard, tile and headset they can even make sure they are connected and working. You may have to tweek a few things, but for the most part you would walk into an Apple Store with your old 5S and you would walk out a couple of hours later with a new phone which is fully set up more or less the same as your old one. trans

Be that as it may, I will offer some suggestions in order to assist you. Please keep in mind that this is only my opinion. As for determining how to tell which apps will not function in iOS 11, I will place the steps and a link to the article below my signature. 1. To manually backup your device to iCloud, from the Settings menu, select your name. 2. Select iCloud. 3. Select and explore the Backup area. Now, as for your other questions: 1. Since money is of great concern to you, and since I'm almost certain you do not want to have to deal with the issue of swapping out any of your audio connectors to the Lightening form-factor, I strongly suggest that you purchase an iPhone 6 S, model. The 6 S model continues to offer the 3.5mm jack, insuring that any analog audio equipment you have will work as usual. Also, the price of the 6 S is significantly less than the 7, 8, and 10 series devices. As far as I know, the only place from which you can purchase a new 6 S series phone is from Apple, be it online or at an Apple store. 2. You ask: "When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones? Will I need to replace these.? Answer: All things being equal, you will probably need to re-pair your Bluetooth devices. Will you need to replace them? I should think not. As for your charger, the answer is, No, you will not have to replace it as all Apple phones, currently being sold, as new, use the Lightening port charging system. Bill, I realize that upgrading to a new phone can be very scary and I don't blame you for hesitating to do so. However, in all things, change is unavoidable so it's best to do it on your own terms, whenever possible. I won't kid you, it is quite possible that some of your favorite apps have not been updated to 64-bit and, thus, will not work in iOS 11. Regardless, given that your 5 S is falling apart, I’m certain that you will gain more than you lose by upgrading to a new device with a modern operating system. Okay, that's about it. Good luck, Bill, and try to have faith in yourself. You can do this. Sincerely, Mark which apps won't work on iOS 11 How can I find 32-bit apps on my device? Discovering any old apps that haven't been updated is very simple. On your iPhone or iPad go to Settings > General > About, and then look for Applications in the list. which apps won't work on iOS 11 If you don't have any applications that are 32-bit then tapping Applications will do nothing. But if you see an arrow on the right side of that section then tap on it and you'll be presented with a list of all the 32-bit apps on your device. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.macworld.co.uk%2Fhow-to%2Fiosapps%2Fwhich-apps-wont-work-in-ios-11-3660434%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cad985a4d28a14c73f8d608d59aba76b4%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636585048025779077&sdata=PZmMAEpPKig1oaK4DfBOkOUYyweR1iZpizgnx1zh4%2BI%3D&reserved=0 From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Outman Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2018 7:47 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Upgrade process from iPhone 5S Hello, again list. I am concerned about the process of upgrading my 5S to a better model. It is falling apart, as I have lost the physical mute switch and the touch screen is sitting on the phone and I have to be careful not to lose it. The case has been gradually losing pieces. I have had it for four years, so it is really overdue for a replacement. First, I am having trouble with the iOS 11 installation cycle. It seems to be failing due to lack of capacity, but I’m not sure if this is really the issue. I am concerned about updating apps to accommodate this new version, and I vaguely recall hearing there is a way to tell which apps might have trouble working when I go from iOS 10 to 11. I worry about the transfer of my apps and data to a new phone, fearing I may lose somethingin the process. I know I can back up the phone to iCloud, but am not sure if this is happening automaticallyofr if there is some step I need to take to do this just before the switch. When I get the new phone, will I need to reconnect my bluetooth devices, my keyboard, a tile I have on my key ring, and my headphones? Will I need to replace these. I also have a stand for my K-NFB reader I might need to replace, though admittedly I haven’t used it much. I am wondering what type of new iPhone I can or should get. I bought the 5S through my local A. T. & T. store back in 2014. It is fully paid off long since through my cell phone bill with them. I know I could have taken a free upgrad from them at some point, but was unsure of what model I would have gotten, and I was afraid of going through the transfer process then. Now I have to update with the phone falling apart, and don’t know what I can get and still have the same transfer fears. If I can’t get it free, I have fears about the cost of the new phone, or how much I can afford to allow the bill to increase to pay for it that way. I am in a jam with my available credit. One other technical issue is the compatibility of my charger. Will I have to replace it? One more issue is getting a protective case for the new iPhone. The cost cost concerns me as this may have to be a separate purchase at another time. I would again appreciate someone helping work through this process.
